Cubs pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training in a week. What now appear to be the most urgent questions for each NL Central club?
Let's start with the home team and move down last year's standings.
Will the Chicago Cubs add one of the remaining top free agents? They have made several moves to fill gaps in the pitching staff and have aquired a highly regarded prospect in Michael Busch who could take a lot of the playing time at first or spend some time at third and DH when needed. They've been linked to both Matt Chapman and Cody Bellinger, each of whom remain available and could fill positions without an established performer so far.
